Sex business expected to boom during GOP convention in NYC

Sex pros get ready for party

With thousands of Republicans set to invade the city this summer, high-priced escorts and strippers are preparing for one grand old party.
Agencies are flying in extra call girls from around the globe to meet the expected demand during the Aug. 30-Sept. 2 gathering at Madison Square Garden.
Charging from $300 to upwards of $1,000 for an hour of companionship and a whole lot more, escorts said they can always count on conventioneers for big business.

"We've got everything organized - the hotels, the flights, the advertisements," said another escort service operator. "We'll probably have 60 girls that week, instead of the usual 30."
Political conventions have long been a boon for the sex industry.
At the 1992 Democratic convention in New York, bikini-clad female oil wrestlers dropped their tops on a flatbed truck in front of Madison Square Garden.
At the 1996 Republican convention in San Diego, an escort service in search of delegate dollars changed its name to GOP: Good Old-Fashioned Pleasure.
While many escort agencies operating on the sly out of Manhattan hotels and apartment buildings welcome the influx of potential customers, others are wary of increased police attention.
"We're just being very secure," said a woman who runs an agency in midtown. "So we won't be taking on any out-of-towners."
(...)
"I get depressed whenever there's a big political convention because I know the street girls are going to be hassled, arrested and treated like criminals," Quan said. "All in the name of 'cleaning up' our city for these people from out of town."
The players on the legal end of the city's sex industry have no such worries - and strip club owners are salivating at the prospect of crowds equipped with bunches of big bills.
Clubs have started booking private parties for delegates anxious to ogle topless beauties after a day of watching fully clothed politicians boast about family values.

[WindRavenX]

2. *snarf*

The party of family values, eh?
Oh this is rich, rich I tell ya!

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Not surprising at all, is it?

No, it isn't. Not one whit. Not given the anti-family-values BEHAVIOR the repukes exhibit.

4. Jon Stewart was just discussing this with his guest,

an NYPD cop. He said that he read about this in the newspaper, so this must have been the article he read, LOL!:D

8. Are you sayin' Pat and Jerry are going to be in town?

And Jimmy Swagger?

9. I have a sneaking suspicion that Republicans...

are some of the most kinky sob's around. You can't walk around repressing your sexuality all the time, and when they let loose they are probably into some freaky stuff. I think that they will be flying in a ton of the dominatrix types during the convention. I could totally see Orrin Hatch being into that sort of thing...not that its a mental picture I want to have, but I could see it happening

10. So that's the jobs Bush plans to create!

Knob Jobs! Will they import the 12 year olds from the far east in case the Bush Brothers all show up?

[Reverend_Smitty]

12. Well they were looking to re-classify "service industry jobs"

eom

[Hubert Flottz]

14. Those are Holesale Jobs!

If you go back for seconds it's Retail!

11. But all the whores will already be inside the convention center.

13. Hope the RePukes get (as the Brits would say) a dose. . .

serve them f**kin' well right.

:kick:

[Zolok]

15. Oh I'll bet...

given the embarrassing state of sexual repression in the GOP though, the whores of NYC are gonna tire of dressing up like schoolgirls and Wonder Woman after a while.
